A step of faith (and a lot of coffee) But with rent to pay upstairs, it seemed impossible. That\u2019s when the divine interventions began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A man named Dave Brady, owner of DB\u2019s Coffee, reached out asking if he could use the back room of the new space to roast beans. \u201cHe walked in glowing,\u201d the owner said. \u201cHe said, \u2018It\u2019s perfect \u2014 it has everything I need!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As it turned out, Brady had more than a roaster \u2014 he had an answer. \u201cHe said, \u2018Why don\u2019t you sell coffee?\u2019 I told him that\u2019d be great if I knew anything about coffee,\u201d he said. \u201cHe said, \u2018That\u2019s not a big deal. My dad owned a coffee company for 20 years. I\u2019ll show you how to do everything.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Within days, Brady had given them his father\u2019s old equipment, shared two decades’ worth of recipes, and helped set up a menu. What began as a prayer space was now becoming a coffeehouse and a ministry opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A community gathering place \u201cWe\u2019re interacting with people, having a cup of coffee, and they\u2019re getting to experience the presence of the Lord in the coffeehouse,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody walks in and says, \u2018I feel peace.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every weekday at 7 a.m., that peace becomes tangible as live worship fills the shop. Some customers stop to listen. Others simply sip their coffee, unknowingly surrounded by the prayers being lifted just a few feet away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s amazing,\u201d he said. \u201cSome people don\u2019t even realize what\u2019s happening, but they feel it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stories of faith and healing \u201cMy wife said, \u2018Let\u2019s pray,\u2019 and we did,\u201d he recalled. \u201cTwo days later, she came back glowing. She said, \u2018After you prayed for me, I went home, took a nap, and woke up \u2014 and my eyes were better. The doctor cleared me to drive\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He smiled, shaking his head. \u201cIt\u2019s stories like that that remind us why we\u2019re here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n How the House of Prayer began \u201cI really felt like the Lord said, \u2018You talk about this, but I want you to do this,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cWe just knew nothing changes in the natural until it first changes in the supernatural.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n They began praying for a space on the square \u2014 and after two years, found one. Just as they were about to sign the lease, someone bought the building out from under them. Days before they had to vacate their old space, his wife posted in a local Facebook group asking for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA woman replied and said, \u2018I might have a space for you,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cIt turned out to be the exact same building, and she offered it to us for $200 less a month.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s where Lebanon House of Prayer was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rooted in Lebanon \u201cWe just began to fall in love with the city and the community,\u201d he said. \u201cWe really felt like God called us here. Our motto is \u201855,000 saved and set free.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coffee, community, and calling Still, the shop\u2019s menu has become a local favorite. His personal go-to is a caramel macchiato \u2014 hot or iced \u2014 but the runaway bestseller is the cinnamon honey latte. \u201cEverybody loves that one,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t know why \u2014 it\u2019s not my favorite \u2014 but it\u2019s a landslide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Much of the staff behind those drinks are volunteers from the House of Prayer community. \u201cThe majority of our people who run the coffeehouse volunteer,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s just a way to give back to our city.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n An open invitation \u201cWe\u2019d love for people to come visit and discover Lebanon,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s such a charming place with great shops and restaurants. But more than anything, we just want them to walk in, take a deep breath, and feel peace.\u201d GN<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WHEN THE landlord of a building on Lebanon\u2019s historic square called to offer Chad and Brooke Seabright the space downstairs from their prayer room, Chad\u2019s first instinct was to say no \u2014 or at least, to try. \u201cI just really felt like God said, \u2018Don\u2019t you dare say no,\u2019\u201d he recalled with a laugh. \u201cSo […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":23198,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23196","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stories"],"yoast_head":"\n
<\/strong>Before the coffee, there was prayer. The couple had launched Lebanon House of Prayer upstairs, holding early-morning and evening worship sessions for anyone who wanted to lift the city up in prayer. When their landlord mentioned that the downstairs tenant, a coffee shop, was moving out, they considered expanding their ministry to the main level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Today, Lebanon House of Coffee hums with conversation, prayer, and the steady rhythm of worship music. Downstairs, the coffeehouse serves the community from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. Upstairs, the House of Prayer continues morning and evening sessions with a growing rotation of local worship leaders and volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/12\/5-1-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/strong>The couple has seen small miracles take place between cups of coffee. One story stands out: a woman who came in weekly until suddenly disappearing. When she returned, she shared that she\u2019d had a stroke and could no longer drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Long before coffee entered the picture, the couple had been leading a small training center focused on teaching people to live out their faith. One day, they felt led to shift gears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Before putting down roots in Wilson County, the couple spent years traveling as evangelists, living full time in a fifth wheel and ministering across the country. A family illness brought them temporarily to Middle Tennessee, but it quickly became clear that they were meant to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/12\/Story-1-photo1-1-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/strong>Though they now serve hundreds of lattes and cappuccinos each week, the heart behind the counter remains the same. \u201cI really could care less about coffee,\u201d he said. \u201cI wanna get people Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>As they celebrate one year in business, the couple continues to see their coffeehouse and prayer room as one unified mission: to serve Lebanon through presence, prayer, and peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
